Because the league will have 12 teams, the move will allow the A-C-C to hold a football conference championship game that is expected to bring in between 5 and 10 million dollars. The league appealed to the N-C-double-A to allow a championship game with only eleven members, but that was denied.
Boston College is expected to start league play in 2005, and WILL have to pay an exit fee to the Big East.
Virginia Tech and Miami will play their first games as A-C-C members next September.
